ColourKit Standard
ColourKit Standard is a stand-alone software solution which uses ICC profiles and a SOOM (Scan Once Output Many) approach to ensure high standards of colour quality and consistency at all stages of the imaging process.
Scan Once Output Many (SOOM) capability for maximum quality:
ColourKit Standard's Scan Once Output Many (SOOM) capability means a single master RGB scan can generate daughter files for a variety of purposes, for example press ready CMYK or RGB images for the internet, without needing to re-scan the original enabling re-purposing of images with no loss of quality.
Compatibility with a wide variety of image capture systems for complete flexibility:
The Import Module accepts RGB and CMYK files via a drop folder. This ensures compatibility with a wide variety of image capture systems.
Multitasking environment for efficient image management:
A Job Ticket-based system can be used to control automated processing of batched files. In addition, the multitasking environment allows batch scanning while simultaneously editing others.
Flexible job scheduling and editing:
ColourKit Standrad's Queue Controller provides thumbnail previews allowing easy scheduling and editing of jobs in the processing queue.
Non-destructive image editing:
Non-destructive editing of high resolution scans can be carried out in RGB, CMYK or LCH formats. The edits affect the tagged ICC profiles, rather than the raw image data, which allows for later reworking. The Image Processor Module works with Lab, RGB and CMYK files in a range of popular file formats.
Easy to use graphical design:
Easy to use graphical interface with a familiar palette of tools for a variety of corrective actions, including colour cast, tonal range, and colour correction/substitution.
Unprecedented control of image detail:
Unique size-relative unsharp mask profiling gives unprecedented control of image detail. Unsharp masking can be carried out subsequent to image sizing and colour conversion.
Comprehensive CMYK editing tools:
Tools for CMYK editing, including colour correction, catchlight enhancement, colour separation control (GCR and UCR), ink limit settings and dot gain correction.
Industry Standard ICC technology:
ColourKit has been designed around ICC - the industry standard for colour management. This ensures cross vendor compatibility and allows the benefits of ColourKit to be integrated into a wide range of workflows.
